YouвЂ™re often fighting against more than one house, plus mercenaries or Fremen. Playing through the game on вЂhardвЂ™ actually gets quite tough by the fourth or fifth mission. Much like Dune II and even Command & Conquer, around the fourth mission youвЂ™ll find your base strewn with your own badly damaged light vehicles-simply because itвЂ™s the last mission before youвЂ™re allowed to build a repair bay. TheyвЂ™re really just the same as your chaps but dressed in purple beekeeper outfits for added drama. Finally of course is the Emperor and his ruthless Sardukar warriors. The native Fremen warriors make a return too, living in caves amongst the rocky outcrops and ambushing enemies out of the blue. Dune 2000 also introduces smugglers and mercenaries, some of which youвЂ™re allied with and who will abandon you mid-mission if they become overrun. Much like Dune II, thereвЂ™s a third house called Ordos, derived from the bookвЂ™s Spacing Guild, in addition to the Atreides and Harkonnen. Unlike anything in early Command & Conquer, the Starport works almost like a marketplace, where stock runs dry and where prices fluctuate. Sadly thereвЂ™s no way to queue unit production as in Tiberian Sun, but once the tech tree lets you build a Starport you can receive dozens of units at a time, making this real tank-rush territory. You can select and move multiple groups of vehicles and assign numerical shortcuts to groups. In terms of mechanics, itвЂ™s pretty much identical to the original Command & Conquer.

I notice early on that many of the vehicles such as harvesters and trikes take a form much more akin to the movie than in Dune II, and thatвЂ™s also true in the FMV sequences. My screen resolution for the first mission is so high that I find the corners of the map with a couple of infantry then realise the mission area is basically just a box in the middle of the screen. ItвЂ™s classic Command & Conquer movie territory, complete with a tiny set, about three extras and a terrible green screened desert backdrop.ДЄs the game begins the first thing I notice is that the unit animations arenвЂ™t quite as polished as C&C, and there are fewer frames when the units move. Playing the role of mentat to house Atreides, he delivers a brilliant piece of oratory during one of the early FMV sequences, proclaiming that вЂњHarkonnen would rather drink your blood than their own motherвЂ™s milkвЂќ. IвЂ™m drawn to play as house Atreides, not because theyвЂ™re noble heroes who liberate the oppressed natives, but because I want to see John Rhys-DaviesвЂ™ beard. The game begins with an introduction to the story by Bene Gesserit concubine Lady Elara-basically a bald witch with a detachable poisonous fingernail.

Building on the success of Dune II the critically acclaimed Command & Conquer followed leading to a RTS franchise which dominated the next decade.The icing on the cake is it still includes all three sets of ludicrous full motion video sequences from each of the playable houses.

This game would mark the beginning of a gaming dynasty for Westwood. Over the course of a multi-mission campaign you must first establish a base before attempting to overthrow the rival houses and take control of Arrakis and its Spice reserves, leading to one of three endings depending on the house you chose. The final house, Ordos, favours stealth, saboteurs and chemical weapons. House Atreides favours guerrilla warfare and allies itself with the Freman, natives of Arrakis, while House Harkonnen uses its wealth to field armies of huge battle tanks.

These are then spent on building units to aid you in your conquest, and вЂњhe who controls the spice controls the universeвЂќ.Д®ach of the houses has a distinct personality which is reflected by the units under their command. Harvesting spice from the sand dunes allows it to be refined and converted into credits. Although Herzog Zwei predated it by several years, Dune II set a benchmark for RTS games that would become the norm for decades.ДЄs a player you get to choose one of three houses and battle for control of the planet Arrakis, the only place in the universe where the mystical substance called spice is to be found. Noticeably different from the adventure-strategy format of rival game Dune, (also released by publisher Virgin Games in the same year), WestwoodвЂ™s Dune II is widely considered the father of real-time strategy games.
